10Net ICT Solutions has brought automated, Web-based security policy management and implementation software, NetIQ VigilEnt Policy Center from Attachmate, to the South African market.
The software delivers built-in knowledge for creating, updating, distributing and tracking security policies, standards, procedures and guidelines, particularly useful to South Africa`s e-government initiatives.
"NetIQ VigilEnt Policy Center is foundational to organisations` security initiatives and objectives and complements their efforts to ensure their IT infrastructure is safe, available and performing," says Riaan Otto, GM of 10Net ICT Solutions.
"To make sure your systems are protected and data integrity maintained, you need to assure compliance with established policies. Policy compliance involves monitoring, measuring and administering systems and resources in accordance with best practices and regulatory requirements."
In addition to allowing businesses and government to manage and implement all policies throughout an organisation and maintain their currency, the NetIQ VigilEnt Policy Center provides the tools necessary to track user compliance statements and measure understanding and awareness of the entire workforce.
This is crucial to government considering the Promotion of Access to Information Act of 2000 which makes provision for records held by public bodies to be made available for legal inspection, and in other cases to protect records from public scrutiny.
NetIQ VigilEnt Policy Center provides a number of key benefits, including:
* Policy and standards knowledge base;
* Improved policy awareness;
* Tests, evaluations and reports on employee understanding;
* Uses existing account repositories;
* Reports and tracks security incidents online; and
* Enforces security policies and tracks compliance throughout the IT environment.
"Each day presents increasing demands for better policy compliance, security awareness and security enforcement," says Otto. "These demands change with shifting regulations and standards, evolving technologies and a dynamic workforce. NetIQ VigilEnt Policy Center delivers the support organisations need to properly create and implement security policies for all aspects of the organisation in complex environments."
